The Westin Excelsior, Florence

Seven centuries of Florentine history are connected with the Excelsior or rather on which it stands. The present hotel came into existence in 1927 from the merging of two neighboring hotels (De la Ville and Italie).

Centrally located on the banks of the Arno River, in the heart of the historic center, nearby the most famous works of art and elegant shopping streets, the Hotel Excelsior is just a few minutes from the main railway station and conveniently accessible from all parts of the city.

Guestroom facilities: hair dryer, minibar, radio, color TV with international programmes via satellite, direct dial telephone, safety deposit boxes. Guest services: 24 hour valet service, fax, photocopying, multilingual concierge and reception desk staff, laundry/pressing same day service, garage with 100 parking places nearby open 24 hours (on request at charge), doctor and nurse on request, 24 hour room service. The Rooftop Restaurant of the Westin Excelsior Florence, almost entirely made of glass, reopens its doors to Florence and its international crowd after twenty years. Its unique location provides the most breathtaking 360 degree view of the whole city over the rooftops, the churches and the bell towers with the River Arno and the Ponte Vecchio as background, all embraced by the picturesque hills of Tuscany.

For those loving to socialize, a wide range of cocktails expertly mixed by head barman, is served on the stupendous terrace overlooking all Florence. The music concept highlights the truly exceptional setting and varies from modern lounge to Nu Jazz sound.
